Faravahar
The Faravahar is an ancient winged-disc/winged-figure emblem prominent in Zoroastrian and Iranian visual culture. Scholarly and traditional readings variably interpret it as an icon of the fravashi (personal spirit), khvarenah (royal/divine glory), or a general symbol of divine favor and moral guidance, and it has been reappropriated in modern pan‑Iranian identity.
Farbod
In Persian tradition, Farbod is a concept associated with protection, honor, and prestige. (Note: - Power tier should be "Primordial" or unclear, as no specific abilities or behaviors are mentioned. - Origin story is accurate, but could be expanded upon with more context about pre-Islamic Persia a)
Farfarello
Farfarello is one of the Malebranche in Dante Alighieri's Inferno, depicted as a vulgar and quarrelsome demon charged with policing Bolgia Five of the Eighth Circle (Malebolge). The name also appears in modern Italian popular verse (a Trilussa lullaby) as a bogey-figure invoked to frighten or discipline children.
Farhad (Persian literature)
In Persian literature and mythology, Farhad is a character associated with the love story of Khosrow and Shirin. (Note: 1. Power tier should be revised to "Minor Spirit" since Farhad's abilities are more related to his devotion and determination, rather than cosmic or deity-level powers. 2. Remove description of "Appea)
Fariburz (Shahnameh)
Fariburz is a legendary Iranian prince and warrior in Ferdowsi’s Shahnameh, a son of King Kay Kavus and brother of Siyâvash who appears as a recurrent Kayanian court hero in episodes such as the Mazandaran (Bahman’s fortress) campaign and the First 'Joust of the Rooks'. He is a human martial figure within the epic, not a supernatural being.
Farinata degli Uberti
Farinata degli Uberti (born Manente degli Uberti, 1212–11 November 1264) was a 13th‑century Florentine aristocrat, knight, and leader of the Ghibelline faction whose political career, posthumous inquisitorial prosecution (1283), and literary depiction by Dante have made him a charged exemplar in medieval debates about heresy and the afterlife.
Farud
Farud (also Firoud, Forud) is a human princely figure in the Persian epic Shahnameh, presented as the son of Siavash and ruler of Kelat. His encounter with the army of his brother Kai Khosrow—marked by misrecognition, restrained tactics, and tragic wounding—functions as a moral episode about kinship, counsel, and the ethics of warfare.
Farânak
Farânak is a human female character in the Persian epic Shâhnâmeh, attested as the wife of Abtin and the mother of the hero-king Fereydun. Her name derives from Persian terms meaning 'butterfly' and by extension is linguistically associated with the Persian lynx/caracal; however, the cited sources present her as a mortal figure within epic genealogy rather than a supernatural being.
Fasolt
A giant or knight in Norse mythology, Fasolt is involved in the creation of the world and appears alongside other supernatural beings. (Note: - Power tier should be Greater, not Lesser, given Fasolt's involvement in creation and appearance alongside supernatural beings. - Summary should mention his involvement in Das Rheingold more accurate)
Father Christmas
Father Christmas is the traditional English personification of the Christmas festival — a cultural and performative embodiment of midwinter feasting, merrymaking and later, following nineteenth-century cultural exchange, a domestic gift-bringer. He functions as a symbolic figure in pageantry, pamphleteering and popular imagery rather than as an independently ontological supernatural being.
Fatimah
Fatimah (also spelled Fatima) in the provided sources is presented as a female personal name and as the historical figure Fatima bint Muhammad (Fatima al‑Zahra), daughter of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, wife of Ali, and mother of Hasan and Husayn. The corpus contains biographical and onomastic information only and does not treat Fatimah as a supernatural entity.
Faun
A faun is a Roman mythic being combining human and goat-like features, originally conceived as rustic local spirits (genii) of the countryside and later visually conflated with Greek satyrs and the god Pan; they are associated with pastoral fertility, revelry, and an ambivalent role toward travelers in wild places.
